According to UkrAgroConsult, Ukraine temporarily utilized a Black Sea corridor to export approximately 700,000 tons of grain.
During a meeting of the EU Council on Agriculture and Fisheries in Luxembourg, Mykola Solsky, the Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, stated:
In August, we established a temporary waterway in the Black Sea with the assistance of our armed forces and the cooperation of our international allies. Daily, there has been a rise in the amount of ships utilizing the ports. Since its launch, 38 vessels have arrived and over 30 have departed, though not all carrying grain. However, we were able to successfully export nearly 700 thousand tons of grain.
According to Solsky, in order to maintain our agriculture as an important part of the economy, we must export approximately 6 million tons per month. This level of transportation can only be achieved by fully restoring the deep-water ports in Greater Odesa. There is a growing trend of more ships departing from these ports, and we hope it will continue.
